OUT OF CHARACTER INFORMATION for the WAY OF THE WARRIOR SAINTS

SAINT CREATION

The Way of the Warrior Saints is intended to be as inclusive a religion as possible, allowing any character who wants their own idiosyncratic faith to be part of a larger, more structured religion.

You can pick one (or several, or all) of the various Saints listed, and live by their example. Or, if you prefer, you can create your own Saint and write up the Wiki page for it (titled "Way of the Warrior Saints/Saint [whatever]").

For instance, if your character worships Thor, the Norse God of Thunder, you can simply create a "Saint" named "Torr, Patron Saint of Thunder and Strength" (we recommend that you tweak the name a little, to avoid obvious anachronisms). Saint Wodin and Saint Issik are good examples of this (from the Norse pantheon and the Grey Mouser series, respectively).

Or, if you're feeling creative, you can invent a totally new Saint and come up with an original faith. Saint Jaynke and Saint Bael are examples of player-made Saints, as are many others.

You can even create a Saint for no other purpose than to be funny. Saint Bear is an excellent example of this (as St. Bear is actually based on "Yogi Bear," the American cartoon).

The only rules about creating a Saint are:

-You cannot make a player character a Saint, whether they be past or present, dead or alive. That's just lame.

-All Saints of the Way hate the Undead and Necromancy of any kind. No Lich-King Saints or Zombie Gods. Sorry!

Other than that, feel free to come up with whatever Saint that fits your character, or choose from one of the many existing ones.

POLITICS AND REALMS

The WotWS is intended to be totally apolitical. This means that priests are totally unconcerned with Realm politics, wars, or other mortal matters. In other words, the WotWS will not be used as a military resource, and worshippers and priests alike should try and keep their national allegience separate from their allegience to their Realm.

This might prove to be tricky. But we'll see how it works out! Keep your eye on this space.
